Overview
The Jonard Tools JIC-175 Fiber Optic Stripper is a precision tool engineered for stripping 250µm buffer coatings from 125µm optical fiber. Its factory-preset design eliminates the need for field adjustments, ensuring consistency while significantly reducing the risk of nicks or scratches on the fiber cladding during the stripping process.
Designed for daily use by network engineers and fiber technicians, the tool features durable, ground, and hardened blades that provide long-lasting performance. The ergonomic yellow thermoplastic rubber (TPR) handles are designed to minimize operator fatigue during repetitive termination tasks in data centers, central offices, and field environments.
